Erica Musser is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Barnard College, Columbia University. She holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, with her research situated at the intersection of developmental psychopathology, cognitive science, and behavioral neuroscience. Her work focuses on the developmental pathways of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and disruptive behavior disorders, employing longitudinal, person-centered approaches and neuroimaging techniques. Recent breakthroughs include identifying distinct temperament-based profiles and resting-state functional connectivity differences in the habenula among youth with ADHD using the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, as well as examining infant heart rate variability and visual attention as early predictors of ASD and ADHD. Her 2024 review on executive function deficits in ADHD and ASD was published in *Nature Reviews Psychology*. She also investigates self-advocacy practices among transition-age young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, reflecting a commitment to translational, community-informed research.
